It’s time! I’m finally going to announce who the grand prize winner of Season 6 is! Every time someone participated in a challenge their name went in the Grand Prize hat. For those who participated in every challenge their name went in to the hat one extra time – for the potential of 7 entries.

The hat is pretty full.

I’m going to make you wait just a few more minutes as we go through all the amazing goodies the random grand prize winner will be getting!

$50 gift certificate redeemable towards quilting by Marcia of Marcia’s Crafty Sewing & Quilting! “Quilting Gift Certificate” for $50.00 off the Quilting on a Baby size quilt or larger. (Baby, Lap, Twin. Full, Queen, or King) from Marcia’s Crafty Sewing & Quilting. The Gift Certificate will be good for 4 months starting one month after the challenge ends. Excluding the Month of December for using the gift certificate. The quilting gift certificate is transferable to another person, so you can share it with a friend, if you’d like. Marcia will do an estimate based on the size of the winner's quilt top, quilting choices, thread choices, and batting and if they would like to purchase backing fabric from me. Winner can send backing fabric and batting with their quilt top, but I do have it available. This way the winner will have a good estimate of the value of your quilting prize.

PRIZE 7

Marcia would also like to giveaway to a separate winner a prize of one of her original patterns(value $8.00).

While it didn’t win a ribbon, I still think it’s a pretty sweet quilt. As I was making it I knew it wasn’t ‘curvy’ enough to make the ribbon placement but it made me happy and that’s what matters!

the fabric that had to be incorporated is the chevron red/yellow/blue/green/orange fabric.

Here is a collage of the ‘non-ribbon’ quilts! Fun – right!? I seriously love what challenges can bring out in folks!

And here is a picture of all the ribbon winners! AMAZING! I’m happy to say that the bottom right quilt, an Honorable Mention ribbon … was made by my mother-in-law! Way to go Diane! (btw … she ALWAYS beats me in these challenges … one of these years …)

And of course I picked up my fabric and challenge for next year. I think the theme has to do with spring … I’m sure I’ll figure something out!

I’m not sure if you’ve noticed or not but I’ve been a bit absent in the online community for the last few days. A few things have been going on – the major one of that is TAXES! Yes, my birthday is getting closer and closer which also means tax day is getting closer and closer. I really like to have our taxes filed well before the 15th of April and after my work today I do think it will happen before we leave March. But in order to do that, I had to actually focus on something!

I’m also working on a bit of a secret project that I’ll get to reveal to you May. I’m so horrible at secrets and I can’t tell you how hard it’s been not to show you more than just this

picture on instagram. But sometimes you just have to suck it up and keep it secret.

So – today – I’m going to share with you some exciting news from some of my friends and fellow Creative Entrepreneurs.
